I'm not sick! So do my other personalities!

The deserted wasteland is occasionally dotted with patches of dim moss. The only road winds through it, with cliff-like landscapes on both sides and scattered forts. If you look closely, you can see the ruins of the former city, mixed with the remains of mechas. Turned into ruins, hidden in this web of fire.

At the end of the numerous forts, there is a towering wall hundreds of meters high, spanning like a giant dragon, cutting the geographical space.

At this moment, in the open space under the wall, the ground turned into ashes without any warning, and a shock wave containing strong energy erupted from the ground, penetrated the void, and finally dispersed in the vast sky.

At the source of the shock wave, a large hole about one meter in diameter appeared on the ground.

A thin figure jumped out of the hole, it was Zhou Zhen!

As soon as his feet set foot on the ground, he quickly glanced around. The scene here was easy to recognize. The towering barbed wire fence firmly separated the road from the wilderness on both sides.

Automatic turrets crisscrossed each other to form a fire network with no blind spots, firmly blocking this area.

Not far behind him was the high wall that enclosed Tongfu City.

Zhou Zhen has now left Tongfu City!

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Zhou Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. He directly used the [Fusion Cube] to dig a tunnel from the ground.

With the "digital rain" here, the "digital" problem on the high wall is as if it didn't exist.

With his mind racing, Zhou Zhen immediately raised his hand and pushed down a broken wall next to him. The remaining floor slab roared down and spanned the hole like a beam.

Broken bricks and remaining reinforced concrete collapsed and fell, like the sound of a violent storm. Large pieces of debris were crisscrossed at the entrance of the cave. Other smaller walls were like tiles, pieced together. Less than half of the fresh hole was buried.

Ping ping pong pong...

With Zhou Zhen's repeated actions, the originally small hole was quickly temporarily covered up, as if it was just an ordinary construction waste dump.

When he was digging a hole on the other side just now, he blocked the entrance of the hole with something, and he also made many traces of the presence of infected people nearby.

Under normal circumstances, no one would approach it casually.

Soon, Zhou Zhen finished everything. He didn't stay here for too long. After making sure that there were no holes left in the cover of the cave entrance, he immediately used [Plane Jump] and disappeared quietly.

The wind blew from afar, and the gravel whirled and swirled on the ground lacking vegetation.

There was silence.

Not long after, the roar of cars was heard in the distance. An off-road pickup truck was speeding all the way. It suddenly stopped at the barbed wire fence nearest the hole where Zhou Zhen had just come out. The tires immediately dragged two dark marks on the road. .

Bang bang bang!

Amidst the sounds of car doors opening and closing, four uniformed official personnel jumped out of the pickup truck almost at the same time, holding various instruments in their hands and came to the barbed wire fence.

They looked solemnly, looking through the barbed wire fence and looking at the ground nearby vigilantly.

The head of the official looked like a hawk. He glanced at the value of the instrument in his hand, quickly put it away, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "The 'digital energy' just detected is here!"

"The intensity of 'Digital Energy' is not low. It may be a compatibility of the 'Fourth Step' or an infected person in the [Progress Stage]!"

"Center here, don't miss every inch, be careful, don't let go of any clues!"

※※※

The humid air, wrapped in the unique fragrance of vegetation, blows towards you.

This is a suburban road with good greenery on both sides and occasional water sources. Different from the rusty lakes in Tongfu City, these water sources are clear and lively. You can also see some fish and shrimp living in them, which looks full of vitality. .

Step, step, step...

Subtle footsteps sounded, and Zhou Zhen's figure quietly appeared on the edge of the road.

After walking for a while, he stopped and glanced around.

This is the highway he took when he went to Tongfu City. In this day and age, there seem to be very few people driving across the city.

No matter whether it was the last trip or this time returning to Binhai City, there were no vehicles on the road.

Last time, there was a military off-road vehicle sent by Lu Jun for transportation. This time there was no transportation. Zhou Zhen used [Plane Jump] all the way to get here.

At this moment, he took out his phone and took a look. There were still four hours left in the nine-hour countdown.

This place is located away from the administrative boundary of Binhai City. If you walk normally, it takes about ten minutes.

Excluding the time he spent in Tongfu City before, Zhou Zhen's trip from Tongfu City to Binhai City only took about an hour, including a break on the way.

The last time the ghost team sent him from Binhai City to Tongfu City, it took more than ten hours...

Of course, the huge difference in time is mainly due to Zhou Zhen's special nature.

Ordinary "Fourth Ladder" compatibility, even if they have a "digital domain" suitable for traveling, do not have as much "digital energy" to squander as he does, and cannot continuously use the "digital domain" to carry out such long-distance travel like him. move.

He stopped now, not because the "digital energy" was not enough, but because Binhai City was probably officially blocked now.

If you continue to move forward like this, there is a possibility of teleporting directly to the official face.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen no longer used the "digital domain" to rush forward, but moved his legs and walked forward.

As his mind turned, the digital domain [Plane Jump] being used was also changed to the digital domain [Hidden Eavesdropping].

In an instant, countless noises and shouts flooded into his ears like a bursting flood.

"呲呲呲...呲呲..."

"Call a stretcher! Call a stretcher! Repeat: Phase 3 of Xiyuan Community is in urgent need of stretchers to transport injured people..."

"呲呲呲...呲呲..."

"Help, help! Help!!"

"呲呲呲...呲呲..."

"Hehe...hehehehe...there are so many...so many sheep...I want to eat them to my heart's content!"

Zhou Zhen walked forward along the road with a calm expression. His eyes looking forward were slightly distracted, and his attention was focused on carefully identifying the approximate location of the source of the sound.

Less than twenty minutes later, Zhou Zhen finally saw the boundaries of Binhai City.

A curtain of water suddenly rose here, blocking the road into Binhai City.

However, this force field is obviously not the kind of super-large force field generator that can block a city.

It is like a light-colored curtain hanging in the wilderness. It is almost difficult to see clearly the energy state of the water through the thin water curtain. It seems to be just a fragile bubble that will burst if you poke it with your hand.

In the open space behind the water curtain, more than a dozen official personnel were sweating profusely. They didn't even bother to open their tents and were busy operating a bunch of machines with temporary wiring.

Judging from the appearance of those machines, it seems that several conventional force fields were temporarily dismantled and assembled into the current force field, which barely isolated Binhai City from the outside world.

From the perspective of [Energy Observation], the "digital energy" of these official personnel is very weak, and they are only compatibility of the "First Step" and "Second Step".

There were two ape-shaped mechas beside them, as well as several guns that were thrown on the ground and had no time to care about. The heavy firepower was obviously not in place yet.

During the [hidden eavesdropping] monitoring, the conversations of those official personnel were very clearly transmitted to Zhou Zhen's ears.

"Boss, when will the reinforced ghost team and heavy firepower arrive?"

"It's worthless! You can count on reinforcements for everything, why not count on yourself!"

"I do think so! But in this situation, how can we possibly be able to hold this border with just a few of us?"

"Binhai City is just experiencing abnormalities now, and it is not a high-risk city. Even if the ghost team comes, they will definitely enter the city center to save people first... Stop talking so much, and quickly take a look at how to connect these lines to maximize Enhance the effect of the force field?”

"I don't have any memory about transplantation... Just wait until I enter the database to check!"

"Can the city center be saved now? The daughter of one of my comrades in arms attends a primary school in the city center..."

"Don't just look at the force field, also look at the energy detector. When the infected person touches you, are you going to die holding the force field?"

Zhou Zhen stood in the distance and listened quietly, knowing in his heart that the real situation in Binhai City might be worse than what he saw when he was watching short videos before!

His location was very hidden. While the official personnel were concentrating on debugging the equipment, he directly used [Plane Jump] to teleport into the force field.

This temporary force field wall has thin energy and weak effect.

The official staff who were leaning in front of the screen to carefully observe various data did not notice Zhou Zhen's entry at all.

The instruments piled all over the floor were all very quiet and did not sound any alarms.

※※※

Binhai City.

suburbs.

One of the satellite towns, Dumu Town.

In the early years, this was an industrial town in Binhai City, with many large heavy industry factories and convenient and busy transportation. Later, as the heavy industry moved away, light industry replaced it. There were many factories in the town, and the pollution index once exploded.

Later, after repeated renovations and the construction of a theme garden surrounding the entire town, the environment changed.

At this moment, Zhou Zhen's figure appeared quietly at the back of a factory building.

He glanced at the unfamiliar environment around him and the address of Binhai City on the sign of a factory building standing in mid-air in the distance, and nodded slightly.

Entering Binhai City!

Now, let's go to Xie Qiongning to get an overview of Binhai City.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen identified the direction and was about to walk towards the Hongshan Group headquarters when a sharp girl's voice suddenly came from not far away: "Crazy!!!"

"Everyone's crazy!"

"what should we do?!"

This voice should have been very clear and crisp, but now it has changed its tone, full of fragility and collapse.

Zhou Zhen's figure who was about to jump suddenly stopped, and he immediately turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

There was no one at that location, only a small tree that was clearly visible at a glance, and next to the tree was the entrance to a small alley.

While Zhou Zhen was observing, another young male's voice sounded: "Don't be afraid!"

"We can leave the city right ahead. We will be able to leave the city soon. By then, it will be safe..."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhen immediately understood that this should be a couple who wanted to escape outside the city after discovering something happened in Binhai City.

After realizing this, he immediately turned around and walked towards the alley.

Dumu Town belongs to the edge area of ​​Binhai City, not far from the temporarily deployed force field just now in Binhai City.

If the couple's condition was still normal, he would just be able to save them.

However, Zhou Zhen had just taken two steps and before he reached the entrance of the alley, the female voice inside came again: "You, are you crazy too?"

"Why are we leaving the city?"

The young male's voice replied in confusion: "There are so many people infected now, let's run out of the city and escape!"

The female voice suddenly laughed and said with a hint of anger: "You are so stupid!"

"We are kangaroos, not humans..."

As he listened, Zhou Zhen suddenly realized something was wrong. His figure flashed and appeared in the alley.

This is an alley sandwiched between two adjacent factory buildings. Between the off-white factory buildings, there are light gray cement slates. On both sides of the slates, there are some grass flowers that are less than knee high and are blooming brightly.

Deep in the alley, a young man and woman, still wearing factory uniforms, were hugging each other reluctantly.

From the outside, there is nothing wrong with this young man and woman and they look very normal.

At this moment, the girl hugged the boy tightly with her hands and pressed her cheek against his chest. The boy's eyes were filled with a doting smile. He lowered his head and slightly pursed his lips, as if he wanted to kiss the girl's face!

Zhou Zhen immediately stepped forward, stretched out his arm, held down one person's shoulder with one hand, and then with a little force, the girl who seemed to have no deformation was instantly thrown away!

boom!

The girl's face still maintained the shyness of leaning on her sweetheart's arms. At this moment, she fell heavily to the ground and let out a very shrill scream in pain.

Zhou Zhen looked at the girl with a delicate face coldly. She was probably infected, but he didn't know if it could be cured.

Therefore, he did not kill him.

With his mind racing, Zhou Zhen turned to the young boy behind him. Just as he was about to explain, he saw the lips of the young boy who was still holding his girlfriend moving, and asked in a worried female voice: "You kangaroo?" Why are you so unreasonable?!"

"Okay, why do you want to hit my husband-in-law!"

Zhou Zhen was stunned for a moment.

At this time, the girl who was thrown away by him also stood up staggeringly while holding on to the ground. She quickly pointed at the boy who seemed to be about to step forward to help her and said in a typical young male voice: " Don't come near her!"

"My girlfriend is infected!"

"We're not kangaroos at all!"

"We are obviously all big buffaloes!"

As she said that, the girl immediately raised her hands above her head, bent her fingers into the shape of horns, bent down, dug her feet on the ground a few times, and then slammed her head towards Zhou Zhen in a menacing manner!

Looking at this extremely abnormal scene, Zhou Zhen reacted immediately.

The will of these two people has been infected!

Bang bang...

Zhou Zhen punched one after another, knocking both of them to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly left the alley and walked towards the CBD in the city center where Hongshan Group is located.

"Liar! You are all liars!" A middle-aged man cursed and pulled out the holly tree in the green belt and buried himself in it. While burying himself, he looked at Zhou Zhen who was passing by with vigilance, as if he was afraid that he would rob him. Go into this pit of your own, "Our mulberry trees are plants, and plants must of course be planted in the soil!"

"Otherwise, I will die!!"

On another bridge, a fisherman was taking out all the spare fishhooks, stringing his own flesh bit by bit with great seriousness, and then jumped off the bridge. The sharp fishhooks instantly Most of his skin was ripped off!

The fisherman fell into the lake bloody, but with a smile on his face: "My exclusive secret bait will definitely be able to protect you..."

Next to several severely deformed cars that had collided with each other, the injured with only most of their limbs left were picking through the car parts that had fallen on the ground. Every time they picked one, they would put it on themselves: "This It’s mine…this is mine too…”

"Hehe...I have another arm..."

"These are all mine!"

"Every one is my hand..."

Zhou Zhen strode through the chaotic long street, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.

He has walked through seven or eight streets now and has not met a normal person!

I hope Captain Lu and Uncle He are okay...

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone suddenly rang.

Jingle Bell……

Zhou Zhen picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID, which showed a string of garbled codes.

He didn't hesitate and picked up directly: "Hello, who is this?"

The next moment, a familiar cheerful voice came from the phone: "It's me, Luo Yuchen."
